Hazards

Shallow flat water can hide rocks and coral patches near shoreStrong currents and occasional boat traffic in the baySea urchins in shallow areas during certain seasonsSudden wind lulls common in early mornings

Launch notes

The flat water bay offers ideal launch conditions with gentle shore access. Northeast trade winds (ENE/NE) provide most consistent conditions, making launches straightforward from the beach.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 14-17m kites for the 12.9kt average winds; a hydrofoil board excels in flat water, though twin-tips work well for beginners. Smaller 12m kites recommended during peak season months when winds strengthen.

Clothing · A 2-3mm spring suit or rash guard is sufficient year-round given Dominican tropical waters. UV protection is essential due to strong equatorial sun exposure.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishing activities and give way to small boats operating in the bay. Keep a safe distance from other riders in the confined flat-water area.

Additional notes

Wind is most reliable from June through September; plan trips during these months for consistent sessions. Download offline maps as cell service can be spotty in this remote coastal village.
